Head coach Andrew McFadden has confirmed the Vodafone Warriors will take the field as selected for today’s 20th-round Old Boys’ Day NRL clash against the Manly Sea Eagles at Mount Smart Stadium (5.00pm kick-off; match day sponsor: Red Bull).

Wing Glen Fisiiahi will be making his first NRL appearance in more than 15 months.

The 24-year-old speedster’s 2014 season ended with a shoulder injury against Cronulla on April 5 last year, a week after he’d scored four tries in the club’s victory over Wests Tigers.

After recovering from surgery Fisiiahi made a try-scoring return in the Vodafone Warriors’ New South Wales Cup side against Penrith in mid-April only to have his comeback disrupted by a knee complaint.

Since recovering from that setback Fisiiahi has scored four tries in three winning appearances for the club’s table-topping New South Wales Cup side to earn his recall.

In 25 NRL matches since his debut in 2011, Fisiiahi has scored 15 tries and had seven in the first five rounds of the 2014 season before his campaign ended.
